Smoke and Mirrors

you think you know me
you see me laugh and you think i'm happy
you see me smile; you think i like you

you create me in your own image

open the door to my mind and look inside
claim you know me better than anyone else
when you peel back the layers all you reveal
is the reflection that is you

smoke and mirrors

throw stones at me
break the glass
and you will be shaken to the very marrow of your bones
choke on the smoke of the dragon's breath
that is held back by the mirror
learn what you never dreamed

then never look at me agan
turn away in fear
protect yoursef against the demons you think i bring

as smoke suffocates
and mirrors shatter into a million poisonous shards
scraping the flesh from your fear filled bones
i will quietly close the door and retreat to the truth

knowing

better than anyone else
the true nature of my mind
